...or a loose piece of paper stuck into a plastic pouch attached to the drive. I ran across a CSC mailer from July, 1990 in my pile of detritus. It advertises a Maxtor LXT-200A 201MB 3.5" drive for only $869. FWIW, the interface (and I'm quoting Martin here) is described as "AT on drive (IDE)". --Chuck
